Patent GB-2353215-A (GB)
Title: Aqueous enteric coating formulation, with buffer (eg ammonium hydrogen carbonate) which solubilises enteric polymer yet decomposes on drying of the coating
Inventor: RAFATI HASAN
IPC: A61K9/32
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: In order to obtain enteric coated dosage forms and avoid using organic solution or aqueous dispersion of the enteric polymers, new formulations for solubilization of the enteric polymers in water have been developed. In these formulations, a buffering agent with high vapor pressure (eg ammonium hydrogen carbonate) is used to increase the pH of water to 7.8 (which resembles the pH of the intestinal fluid) and hence dissolves the enteric polymers. However, in these buffered systems the enteric polymers can be dissolved due to the ionization of the carboxyl groups. In contrast, upon drying the enteric coating, the components of the buffering agents evaporate (eg ammonium hydrogen carbonate decomposes to ammonia, carbon dioxide and water) and turn the polymers back to the non-ionized form. This in practice produces a film of enteric polymer at the surface of dosage forms. Using these formulations, a number of commercially available enteric polymers have been successfully applied to prepare enteric coated aspirin tablets by solution layering. Examples include cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), hydroxy proply methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) and polymethracrylic acid ester. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose phthalate (HPMCP) coated tablets were found to have a rigid and dense property, which could not be achieved even by conventional organic solvent coatings.

Title: Hard leading edge of gas turbine blade or vane
Inventor: FARRAR PETER GORDON GRAHAM
IPC: F01D5/28
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A gas turbine engine compressor, turbine or fan vane or blade 26 has an aerofoil portion 32 with a leading edge 38 formed from harder material than regions of the concave surface 42 and convex surface 44 immediately adjacent the leading edge 38 so that a greater rate of erosion at the adjacent regions than at the leading edge 38 helps the aerofoil to maintain a pointed or sharp taper. The aerofoil may be made from one piece, or may comprise metallic sheets 46,48,50, a central sheet 50 being corrugated, defining the leading edge and being harder material or locally case hardened. Alternatively, harder material (54, fig 6) may be secured in a slot in the leading edge. In some embodiments (figs 5 and 6), the harder material may extend proud from adjacent regions. The efficiency of the vane or blade is maintained during erosion and hence of the gas turbine engine 10 and flutter resulting from blunt edges is reduced.
